I made this recipe on 11/07/08 for the "My-3-Chefs November 2008"event. I followed the recipe as written, but there were a couple of problems. First I didn't know if I should have measured the cherries then chopped, or chopped then measured.Second, after baking the first sheet, the cookies had spread considerably flat. Then I added a bit more flour to the rest of the dough ,that seemed to solve the problem.Even though I had some trouble with the recipe,the cookie itself tasted pretty good.Thanks for posting, and "Keep Smiling :)"
